Database Schema Migration Complexity
While Django provides a migration system, managing complex database migrations can become cumbersome, especially for large applications with frequent changes.
Template Language Limitations
While Django’s template engine is easy to use, it lacks some advanced features found in other templating engines, such as full programming logic, which can lead to limitations in complex UI designs.
Update Data
Django ORM uses the Active Record pattern for the interaction between a model class and its mapped database table. An instance of the model class corresponds to a single row in the table. Any of the attributes of the object results in updating the corresponding row. In this chapter, we will focus on the different […]
Opinionated Framework
Django has strong conventions and best practices, which can be restrictive for developers who prefer more flexibility in their architecture and design choices.
Limited Asynchronous Support
While Django has made strides in supporting asynchronous programming (especially with Django 3.1+), it is not as inherently designed for async tasks as some other frameworks like FastAPI or Node.js.
Performance Overhead
The abstraction layers and built-in features can introduce performance overhead, particularly in applications that require high speed or handle a large number of requests.
Insert Data
Django has its own Object Relation Model (ORM) that maps a Python class with a table in a relational database. The ORM mechanism helps in performing CRUD operations in object-oriented manner. In this chapter, we shall learn about different methods of inserting a new data. By default, Django uses a SQLite database. A model in […]
Monolithic Structure
Django’s “batteries-included” approach can lead to a monolithic architecture, making it challenging to break applications into microservices or smaller, more manageable components.
Steep Learning Curve
For beginners, the combination of Django’s conventions and its many built-in features can be overwhelming, leading to a steeper learning curve compared to simpler frameworks.
Models
A model is a class that represents table or collection in our DB, and where every attribute of the class is a field of the table or collection. Models are defined in the app/models.py (in our example: myapp/models.py) Creating a Model Following is a Dreamreal model created as an example − Every model inherits from […]
